Uchiha Raizen was absolutely insatiable.
Who knew what he would demand this time?
Samui subconsciously touched her wrist, where a "Summoning Talisman" was sealed.
A light touch would summon the item stored inside.
Similar to a sealing scroll, but far more limited in capacity—only small, single items could be stored.
Inside, she had sealed several ninjutsu scrolls, prepared for Raizen's endless appetite.
"I'm going now."
Samui pushed open the glass door and stepped into the bustling crowd outside.
Atsui watched her back for a moment, then turned and resumed wiping tables in the sushi shop.
…
Raizen's house.
"A distinguished guest. Aren't you afraid of exposing your identities?"
Raizen said calmly.
Three minutes earlier, Samui had found him.
Raizen was quite surprised at Kumogakure's boldness and paused his training.
"Lightning Release: Iron Body" had reached its limit. The once hair-thin currents had grown to the thickness of wooden skewers.
All of it was contained beneath his skin. Whenever he refined chakra into Lightning nature, it would begin circulating.
Thanks to this, Raizen's physical development had accelerated rapidly. He had tested it—his resistance to blunt force had increased significantly.
He now understood why Kumogakure was so drawn to his talent.
They were willing to take such risks to approach him.
"There might be surveillance everywhere in the Uchiha district."
Raizen poured Samui a cup of tea.
But if Kumogakure dared send someone, they must have taken precautions.
"Our background in Konoha is clean. We can withstand investigation. You've visited our sushi shop many times—you're a regular customer. This can be considered a store promotion… or simply that we have a personal acquaintance."
Samui accepted the tea and took a sip, her lips gaining a soft pink sheen.
Kumogakure had infiltrated Konoha for so long—they had real skills.
On the table lay a delicate gift box containing several varieties of sushi she had brought.
"That works."
Raizen nodded.
As long as it didn't drag him into trouble.
He suddenly looked at Samui, sizing her up.
Her thin top couldn't hide the curves of her chest, yet her expression remained cold and aloof—an ice queen.
The contrast was striking.
Feigning confusion, he asked,
"So why did Miss Samui come to see me?"
"I wanted to ask why you…"
Samui lifted her gaze to meet Raizen's.
She had intended to ask why he hadn't come to the shop lately.
But suddenly she sensed electricity.
She possessed Yang Release affinity and was highly skilled in Lightning Release—though she usually preferred short blades.
According to her perception, a very faint current emanated from Raizen's body.
Samui immediately closed her eyes and focused fully.
In her perception, from the largest chakra network at Raizen's heart, countless tiny blue-white currents spread throughout his entire body.
Not a single part was untouched!
Including the lower…
Samui opened her eyes in shock.
"You've actually trained this technique to such a level?"
Giving Raizen "Lightning Release: Iron Body" had been a calculated decision by Kumogakure.
The technique required extremely precise chakra control—keeping the current safely contained at all times.
A single mistake could injure the user's body.
Yet Raizen had extended the current to every corner of his body—and the intensity was far greater than usual.
At that moment, countless guesses flashed through Samui's mind.
Had the Uchiha clan taught him their methods?
She immediately dismissed that. If so, why would Raizen have asked them for ninjutsu scrolls?
They had also investigated his team leader.....Mizunashi Yūki didn't know Lightning Release.
That left only one conclusion: Raizen's self-taught genius talent!
"I suddenly realized my talent isn't half bad."
Raizen smiled faintly and continued,
"What we both want is clear to us. I still need time to think about this matter."
He was, of course, referring to returning to Kumogakure.
Don't ask—just say he's "considering."
As long as he didn't outright refuse, he could keep them hoping.
Until they reached their limit of patience.
Raizen estimated that would take quite a while....long enough for him to keep fleecing them.
The upcoming Third Shinobi World War would be chaotic enough to claim even the Third Raikage.
He would die fighting ten thousand Iwa ninja alone to cover his village's retreat.
Overwhelmed, he fell.
At that time, Kumogakure would be in chaos. Who would have time or energy to chase after Raizen?
"You still don't understand? The Uchiha in Konoha will only be suppressed."
After recovering from her shock at Raizen's talent, Samui suppressed her emotions and calmly advised him.
